Do me a favor, and calculate how many hundredths of an inch that 2 degrees represents for one mile on a map where one mile is represented by 1.5 inches. The let's talk about how likely the map maker...

We agree that re-orienting when reaching obvious landmarks is a good policy. I think traveling 165 miles without doing so would be exceedingly rare for the vast majority of us. So being 6 miles off...

I did not suggest that it wasn't factored in. Just that there is no need for the navigator to consciously factor it in. (other than to use the magnetic north line instead of true north line). In...

Ignoring the poles, most places on this planet will change less than 2 degrees over the course of a lifetime. And 2 degrees is probably less than the error in my sighting ability. So its not...

Mostly because of this statment "be sure to check your area’s magnetic declination".

If you orient based on the magnetic north line, then no need to factor in declination.

Your maps aren't marked with both true north and magnetic north? I don't recall seeing a map in the past 20 years that didn't have both.
